There are two scenarios a) devaluation b) depreciation.
If value of currency was reduced due to market forces i.e. demand and supply its depreciation of currency.
But when the government or other legal authority reduces the value of their currency its called devaluation.

Devaluation of currency means reduction in the value of currency.
Ex. If we are sending Rs.45 for 1$ but now 1$=Rs50, It means we have send more.
It shows value of Rupee is weak as compared with dollar.

That means, fall in the purchasing power of a currency, for instance, in international market, when a doller was equal to rs. 50, and later a dollar equals to rs. 35, that signifies tht the value of rupee has devaluated.
